but particularly with nsa and health care as you point out, nsa situation obviously a huge domestic and foreign policy issue, health care is his signature achievement to this point in his presidency. you would think he would be more in the loop is a way of saying it than he has been. >> how much of this shock that's being expressed by the allies just simply to try to get some leverage with the u.s. because everyone knew this was going on and they do it to us and we do it to them. the world of spying. >> you have to express anger this is going on. if you suspected or knew it was going on. they can use it effectively for leverage. the question now is whether or not united states is going to enter into new nonspying agreements with countries they have long resisted entering these agreements with. so whether it's the french or germans, you know, they now have a good deal of leverage to try to negotiate these pacts if they so choose. it's quite possible one result is there will be more nonspying agreements with european allies than there were before. >> i would bet on germany and not on fran

to the press, the nsa has no idea what data they took from him, how many documents he took, or what the documents are. the nsa has, quote, poor data organization and poor audit capability and that they have not been able to do a complete damage assessment of what this guy took. and this is who we have given the power apparently or who has claimed the power to monitor your e-mail and communications. they got the keys or at least they took the keys and it turns out they can barely reach the pedestri pedals let alone steer. in a democratic society rule is by the consent of the governed. power is given. it is lent with the consent of the governed. and we are not like hi to continue consenting to it if you misuse that power or, more importantly, if you are the freaking keystone cops who have no idea what you are doing with that power. joining us now is dan rather, a anchor for dan rather reports on axs-tv. should it be comforting in a way that the government is incompetent at overreaching? is that better than if they were great at it? >> that's better than being great at it. as reporters
